CVQ Christmas Party & Luncheon ~ December 2013
The highlight of our annual Christmas party was the table decorations!
Seven individuals or friendship teams chose to decorate a single party table  in a Christmas theme. From the centerpiece to the nut cups or favors and all the PIZAZZ that comes with a Christmas celebration, each table was fabulous and dressed in high style.
Edie Spain won top honors (by popular vote) in the table decoration contest.  Congratulations to Edie!

See Edie's table and six more in our Decorated Christmas table gallery.
